Prayer for my friends

Dearest Father bless my friends
To their side your aid, do send
Give them strength in hour of need
Help their plans to here succeed
Give them hope when times are black
Guide them through the things they lack
Raise them when they fall in sin
Bring them love from deep within
Help them find friends that treat them well
And love for others where they dwell
Let them know that love is there
from friends like me, who really care
I ask these things in humble prayer
within my heart, and here to share.
Remember these my friends on earth
and just how much they are of worth
each one as precious as can be
and of great worth to you and me.
